Anyone have experience with these - good, bad or indifferent?

I raised up some babies had a female mate and lay eggs then all her legs fell off. Never seen anything like it.

Hmmmm. Any other observations...? Any reason you only did it the one time...?

 

[Orin]

Yes, because they are very difficult to acqurie.

I have Damon variegatus. Very cool, creepy insect. Not very exciting pets. Same goes for Vinegaroons.

Nice. OK, well I guess I'll keep exploring... Thanks, guys!

I have a Acanthophrynus Coronatus... I love it, also my son.

It is still small, but really cool.

Wow, Mexxico Ghost...it is amazing that you have that species! That is one of my top 5 "wants" for many years now. My parents live in Mexico so I know that I will see one someday. Did you collect it in Nayarit? My parents have a friend that goes "caving" and he's seen them a few times.

Yesterday it molted, now is a litlle bit bigger, may I´ll take other pic at my son´s hand to see the difference.

I bought it to a friend. He is breeding them. By now He doesn´t have any for sale, but later this year He will...., if you are interested.... I´ll let you know, may be I can send few to the US.

Other guy bought two wild caught Amblys from Jalisco, They are so huge, but We don´t know if they are male/females.....
